Pros

- At the center of next-gen tech revolution - Core technology - Awesome peers - Very open culture - Not much politics or fuss about reporting chain - Ownership and recognition of your work - Good compensation - Flexible work hours/location - Opening up and actually becoming a backbone to AI computing - Partnership with many leading companies like Google, MS, Amazon, Audi, Merc, Tesla - As long as you can get down and get dirty you will love this place, no shallow talks, real stuff - Play games and think like a gamer - Very cool office env. - Free food and transportation - On great path to become a tech super giant in next couple of years

Cons

- Insurance benefits can be improved, to be at par with other industry competitors - Learning could be steep for some - Need to spend a lot of time juggling with multiple matrix teams, as such there are so many folks work on same product so there is no getting around with this, but still everyone is very helpful, just speak up and ask for help :)

Pros

Management is competent and actually cares about employee welfare. Jensen is the least sociopathic CEO I've ever worked under. The work has been interesting and I was actually allowed to do things right, and not just "right now".

Cons

The company is 3X the size it was when I joined, with all the usual problems of massive growth. And of course the AI hype at Nvidia is intense.

Pros

NVIDIA's PTO and Sick policies are compassionate and generous. Managers listen to employees' ideas. Employees get to work on a wider variety of projects than expected, and usually work closely with other teams to get things done. Collaboration is tight almost all of the time.

Cons

Employees don't always get insight into why they were assigned a particular project, or have much if any choice about what projects they get to work on. Managers are often too busy working on projects themselves to have the free time to meet with employees on a regular basis. This leads to short-term, reactive thinking rather than long-term visionary thinking.
